mayhem on the Florida football team With an explosive three-touch- UM Sinks Pensacola Navy 27-0 By JOHN UNDERWOOD Henld sorts Writer After two private pre-season football games sagaciously rustled up by Coach Andy Gustafson as for his Hurricanes one thing has been definitely established the University of Miami will be murder when it rains An agonizing drizzle accompanied the opening kickoff Saturday at the UM athletic field and with varied intensity it was The Yardstick of Pen Navy DETROIT The Cleve land Indians ended three long years of bitter second-place frustration Saturday when they clinched the American league championship on a pair of dramatic home runs by Dale Mitchell and Jim Hegan With a 6heet of rain darkening Briggs Stadium Mitchell and Hegan hit consecutive home runs in the seventh inning to provide a 3-2 victory over the De troit Tigers Thus the Indians won their third pennant in 54 years and brought to a decisive end the five year rule of the New York Yankees The Indians climax victory No 107 was reached in the seventh inning With Steve Gromek Tiger veteran righthander nnrsing a 1-0 lead the Indians let loose with endden explosive fury After Dave Philley walked with one out the 33-year-old Mitchell a bench-rider all season was sent in to hit for George Strickland The tempo of the rain increased in the darkened stadium but the umpires after a hurried huddle decided to continue Mitchell took one ball then lashed the next one high into the upper right field deck and scored behind Philley It was his first homer of the season Hardly had the Cleveland bench quieted when Heagan a strong figure in pennant surge followed with a home run into the left field seats Making one final finery in their half of the seventh the Tigers scored once when Early Wynn walked Jim Del-sing with two out and the bases loaded Rookie Ray Narleski replaced Wynn and saved the game by getting the dangerous Ray Boone on a grounder to third Wynn received credit for his 22nd victory against 11 losses He had yielded a run in the third inning on singles by Harvey Kuenn and Fred Hatfield plus a sacrifice bunt ard Boone's sacrifice fly The game was df'aved an hour and 15 minutes in starting and was held up for 53 minutes in the eighth when rain made the field virtually unplayable It was Cleveland's ninth straight victory First downs Rushinc plavs 1 ards ruvhins Yards

the close of the third quarter Florida held a 7-6 lead and appeared to be giving the Owls a good going over But Rice regained its poise and rocked the Floridians with a ground game that simply overwhelmed the Florida line which for the first half outplayed the winners The Owls stormed to 252 yard3 along the ground in picking up 14 first downs The Gators netted 1S6 yards most of it in the first half The Gators spotted their foes a six-point lead in the game's first 11 minutes In just nine plays with fullback Mac Taylor and quarterback Atchley Proctor providing the impetus the Owls spanned 55 yards Taylor started it with a 20 yard burst up the middle to the Florida 35 On a keeper play Proctor turned left end and raced to the 20 Proctor slipped the ball to Taylor on a close handoff to send the fullback slashing to the eight a gain of 12 yards After Moegle turned the right flank for a five yard gain Morris slipped through the left side of line for a score with 3:31 left in the first quarter The Rice fans groaned when try for the point failed to find the uprights Earlier the Owls had probed down to the Florida five only to be chilled by an offside penalty and a fast-charging Florida line that forced Moegle to throw hurriedly and wildly -into the end zone Rice got the opportunity to make the deep penetration when Bobby Lance fumbled at the Florida 29 With the Orange team the no 2 aggregation in Woodruff's two-team system in the game the Gators bounced right back Grabbing a punt right off the face of a charging Owl lineman Burgess flashed 31 years to the Rice 29 before being flattened In eight plays Florida surged into the lead with a ground game that chewed holes in the Rice line Burgess and Brodsky provid ed the key gains with Burgess slipping around left end on a pitch-out for 13 yards to the two Three plays later he knifed over the left side for the score Dick Allen provided the score that gave the Gators a temporary lead Two of the Rice touchdowns came within a five minute period The Owls capitalized on Mai fumble for the go-ahead score The Florida fullback dropped the ball at the Gator 33 and five plays later the hard-hitting Owls were in front Key play of the all Infantry movement was headed by Morris Stone a halfback and sophomore fullback Jerry Hall Stone startled the Gator defenders by racing 18 yards off the right side for a score and Hall kicked the point to send the Owls in front 13-7 with 12:44 of the third quarter remaining around at the finish as the Hurricanes outsplashed rugged Pensacola Navy 27-0 Thus in two sloppy battles Miami has scored 63 points to the zero and twice without paid witnesses Last Monday in a near thundershower the Hurricanes leveled Stetson 36-0 you can't call the Stetson game a Gustafson insists Pensacola was different In all fairness to the Navy they were belabored by bad breaks Untimely fumbles muff ed passes etc continually sty mied the gobs However surefingered Miami was immune to such diseases and as the man said you make your own breaks Scoreless in the give-and take first quarter the Hurricanes parlayed three Pensacola fumbles into three second period touchdowns leaving at halftime 21 points up An early second-half score clinched things and the first two Miami units showered and watched the last quarter in street clothes from the sidelines The bangaway-type
